3 What is Year of Young people? Year of Young People 2018 is an opportunity to celebrate the amazing young personalities, talents, and achievers that make up Scotland. It s all about inspiring our nation through its young people s ideas, attitudes and ambitions. This year long programme of events, activities and ideas will give young people in Scotland the opportunity to show the world what they re made of. Year of Young People 2018 is something everyone can support (young or young-at-heart) and be immensely proud of. Aim Year of Young People 2018 aims to inspire Scotland through its young people, celebrate their achievements, value their contribution to communities and create new opportunities for them to shine locally, nationally and globally. Activity for the Year of Young People 2018 will be based around six key themes... Culture Share and celebrate young people s talent and contribution to Scottish culture and arts. Health and Wellbeing Make sure young people have the chance to lead healthy, active lives and understand the importance of mental health and resilience. Equality and Discrimination Recognise the positive impact of young people on Scotland and encourage them to take the lead in challenging all forms of prejudice and discrimination.

Participation Give young people the chance to influence decisions that affect their lives. Education Allow young people to have more say on their education and learning 3

Local Ideas Consultation and Findings Preparation for YOYP18 begun by consulting with young people involved in young leader training in early June 2017.

4 Local Ideas Consultation and Findings Preparation for YOYP18 begun by consulting with young people involved in young leader training in early June With their input we decided on the theme and a rough plan. We then developed a survey which was tested with a group of young people in Helensburgh and Lomond as part of a Have Your Say event, before being rolled out across Argyll and Bute. In total 1055 young people took part and the results are shown in the attached table. Young people were asked to pick the top five reasons they love living and growing up in Argyll and Bute. We have developed our programme of events for 2018 with these in mind, while also keeping with the six key national themes. We will use hashtags# to enable young people to link their activities to the plan, update in real time and share their involvement on social media.
